The Pirinciple of Shuchu-ryoku - 05/22/05 03:11 PM
Hello all,
As a hapkido stylist I understand that there are basic principles that are shared by it and aikido. In learning it as an aki art there are also distinct cultural differences that add it's own texture. One of these, I think, is that of "shuchu-ryoku" .
In my experience the teaching of shuchu-ryoku is not, at least in a concious way, a part of hapkido training. I would not say that "concentrating one's power" is not a part of training but the notion of that type of power is taught by generating power through circular movement itself.
While I understand the principle, can some aikidoka take a minute to explain how this teaching is explained in the dojo?
Looking forward to your replies
Thanks
